C Am C
A neighbor tipped his hat to me this morning
F C
The landlord even smiled and said good day
Am Fm C F
And I want you to know a stranger said hello
D7 G7
Christmas can't be far away
C Am C
Old tide-wad down the street is buying candy
F C
To pass out to the neighbor kids at play
Am Fm C F
The town is on the go the weather man said snow
D7 G7 C
Christmas can't be far away
F C
The small fry on our block have all been saving
G7 C
And now they're hiding things and looking sly
G7 C
Mom will get that do-dat she's been craving
D7 G7
And dad will get his usual Christmas tie
C Am C
Both young and old are planning sweet surprises
F C
They'll soon be tied with ribbons bright and gay
Am Fm C F
Good will is in the air you feel it everywhere
D7 G7 C
Christmas can't be far away
Repeat #3,4
